srGsiiEitory Laws Constitutional.

! Mining Journal.
+ The supreme court of the United
States has rendered a decision of far
reaching Importance in the Kansas
liquor cases, which were taken bef,r
it By the liquor neu of that state to
test the cnn>titutionalily of the pro-
hibition law in effect there. The APP
peal to the supreme urt was based
on two points. The Kansas law pro-
hibits the Manufacture or sale in that
state OF Intoxicating liquors. The
first point raised was that n state has
no right 10 prevent any citizen from
manufacturing for his personal use,
or for export or storage, any article
which, from its nature, may be manu-
facturel, stored or exported without
injury to, or infraction upon the
rights of, others. The second WAS
that persons engaged in the manu-
facture Of malt and spurious liquors
in Kansas had the value of their pro-
perty destroyed by the prohibitory
law, and that state has not the right
to take away the value of n mans
property without compens .tns him
for the loss thus inflicted.
On the first point the court holds
that while the proposition is stated is
a sound one, the right to determine
what article may or may not be
manufac. ured and stored or exported
without danger to Others rests in the
state, and not in the individual.
The state in question hayiny decided,
through the action of its legislature
that the manufacture of intoxicants
for any purpose is dangerous to the
community, they must be SO regarded
in law. On the second point the de
cision is that, the state having con-
structively declared the manufacture
of and traffic in liquor inimical 70 the
welfare of its people, legislation to
prohibit either, or b ,th, is in the ma
ture of taking justifable steps to
abate a nuisance, and thu Sc whose
property interests suffer in conse-
quence have no recourse.
The decision is CONCLUSIVE rs to the
rights Of a state to do pretty much
whatever it elects to do toward re-
striction or Introduction of the liquor
traffic, and it is naturally hailed with
delight by the prohibitionits.

Don't EpOI with the Laws.

Our city fathers evidently mean
business, and also mean that the or
dinances they issue are not Intended
for mere holiday reading matter, but
that they are to be enforcen and the
man who thinks he is going to defy or
dodge them is going to get badly left.
When they say the brutal prize ring
must go, it simply goeth. When
they say the saloon men must not sell
liquor on Sunday they mean just that
and nothing else. Mr.. Kane's bar
tender thought the Village fathers
said they mustn't just for political
effect, and to see how it would look in
print, and kept right on selling last
Sunday as usual. He found out his
mistake Monday and will not pay any
more fines experimenting with Or
dinances. Another ordinance says
the saloons must close at II O'Clock
every night, and it means IL O'Clock
